Happy Anniversary to us all!

Hello my December friends- Happy Anniversary to us all. Today, Dec 10th is my one year! I want to say so much but am sitting here, at work, with tears in my eyes. First, its been so long since I've done any posting or any reading. I changed jobs, same company, new position. Something I know I wouldn't or couldn't have done a year ago. I've been so busy training and learning, just no time for the computer at night. So, please forgive me. My life has changed so much, I still can't believe it. I am amazed at myself and so proud. As, we should all be proud. We tend to compare ourselves to much to others and it can be a motivator but also can be discouraging. So, if you are reading this thinking about surgery, try to make it your motivator. I look in the mirror today and I am 1/2 the person I was a year ago. I've lost 160 lbs!!! I was wearing a size 34 and I now wear a size 16 or 18. I'm just about into a Misses' size and ready to say so-long to PLUS SIZE!! My shoe size was a 10-10 1/2 Wide and is now an 8 1/2. I were pants with no elastic and LEVI'S!! I am grateful to everyone who saw me at my worst time in my life- my family and friends who stood by me through my most morbidly obese time and those who have been my cheerleaders and those who held my hand when I felt like I had been hit by a mack truck! So, God Bless all of you! Its been the best year of my life with even better things to come!! Kathy 389/227/170

Happy anniversary Kathy. Congratulations on a successful year. What a difference a year makes, huh? Congratulations on your new job and new life!! Kim 347/159/???
